This shouldn’t last long also.

According to “Spanish and Portuguese Military Aviation” by John M. Andrade 1977 on page 13 “Still later, Escuadrilla 533 was formed to evaluate aircraft types, examples of aircraft operated including Cessna 172 “533-1” and Chipmunk “533-8″.”

Around 1969 went to a meeting of TRAIN (To Regain American Independence Now) and met Robert L Scott of “God Is My Co-Pilot” a very right wing group. I always figured I might have ended up on a FBI list somewhere. I just went to meet him and he autographed my copy of his book and another book on light aircraft in the war that he wrote an intro too.
Also on a tangent of the topic. When in the early 70’s worked at Woodbridge Virginia airport as a flight instructor. Was standing around one day waiting for business. In walks this old man. I was able to recognize him even though the recent pictures I’ve seen of him in magazines like Popular Science and Popular Mechanics were of a much younger man. It turned out to be Werner von Braun. So that day I checked him out in a Cherokee because he was going to fly up to the mountains and do some glider flying. I did my normal checkout a stall and 3 landings he did OK was a little shaky with age.

This is from a 1960 Air Progress posted as real. The only thing I could find on the net about it was someone asking with this same pix if it was real. Weirder things have happened. So open house and maybe someone can find something more on it.
